Review Toshiba Satellite Z830-10J Ultrabook

 

Light as a feather. The power of a big notebook, but as light as a netbook. The Z830, as Toshiba's first ultrabook, presents itself with good battery runtimes and outdoor suitability. Where is the device positioned in comparison to the ultrabook...

Extremely light for 13.3 inches, Rigid within the realms of what's possible, Fingerprint resistant surfaces, Comparatively many ports, Many ports at the rear, Good keyboard, High application performance, Full performance on battery power possible, Low...

Permanently audible fan, No docking option, Weak colors, viewing angles on the TFT, Built-in battery, Moderate battery life, Stiff mouse keys, Free-fall test: passed. Pressure test: passed. Spill test: passed. - But what about the noise test? Do...

Toshiba Satellite Z830 (PT22LA-001001) Ultrabook

 

The way we hoped Ultrabooks would materialise when we first heard about them is about as close as Toshiba has gotten with its design of the 13.3in Sat...

Design ; Features ; Backlit keyboard

Screen's viewing angles ; Touchpad buttons ; Sharp chassis corners

If you want to buy an Ultrabook, then buy this one. It's only 1.1kg and 16mm thick, but it has a conventional feature-set and it feels very comfortable to use. We enjoyed reviewing it very much, more so than the models from Acer and ASUS. Our only...

Toshiba Satellite Z830

 

One of the lightest, best-connected and most affordable 13in Ultrabooks on the market.

Incredibly lightweight, Excellent connectivity, Affordable, Backlit keyboard, Matt screen

Design not as clean as rivals, Screen’s poor viewing angles, Mediocre keyboard

Toshiba Satellite Z830-10U review

 

An excellent ultraportable, but not the best you can buy

Light and slim ; Good keyboard and touchpad ; Impressive speakers ; Good performance ; Plenty of connectivity

Flimsy screen ; Too much bloatware ; Boxy design ; Quite pricey ; Matt screen will disappoint some

If you wanted a stylishly light and powerful Toshiba laptop, you would immediately look to the Japanese company's Portege R830. That is, until you came across the Toshiba Satellite Z830-10U, priced at £999 in the UK (the US price isn't yet available).

Toshiba Satellite Z830-10U review

 

The Toshiba Satellite Z830-10U is one of Toshiba's ultrabooks, this one aimed at a consumer audience instead of business.

The Toshiba Satellite Z830-10U costs less than the Portégé Z830-10P and has better hardware specifications. Business users will have to swallow the difference though in order to get Windows 7 Professional. For anyone else, the Satellite is the best...

Toshiba Satellite Z830

 

Toshiba's Satellite Z830 is without question the leading ultrabook in the market today. With extra ports, backlit keyboard and stellar battery life, it stands head and shoulders above competitors.

Great battery life ; Thin and light without compromising ports ; Backlit keyboard

Keyboard is a little mushy, shallow travel ; Screen is worryingly flexible
